Bharat International Rice Conference 2026

Overview

The Bharat International Rice Conference (BIRC) 2026, organized by the Indian Rice Exporters’ Federation (IREF), commenced on October 22 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The three-day event aims to connect Indian exporters with international buyers to explore new markets and assess the global rice price outlook for 2027.

Registration numbers reached 32,467, including 4,856 buyers from 153 countries. Exhibition space was reported as fully booked for the second consecutive year, with over 180 companies participating. The program includes 65 speakers and nine knowledge sessions covering topics such as Basmati and non-Basmati rice markets, crop surveys, shipping, and government policy. A digital platform facilitated 2,038 scheduled business-to-business meetings.

During the conference, discussions expanded to include climate-smart practices and the integration of carbon credits into the rice supply chain. Experts highlighted strategies to reduce methane emissions, such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) techniques. Industry initiatives were noted, including a carbon program by Varaha covering approximately one million acres and a carbon credit project in Telangana involving roughly 20,000 farmers.

As the event progressed, exhibitors reported that the conference served as a strategic platform for Indian rice exporters, millers, and packaging companies to expand trade networks. Participants, including representatives from Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Ltd and RMJ Group, noted the value of meeting stakeholders like brokers and rice mills in a single location to strengthen existing relationships and connect with new domestic and international buyers.
